I liked the idea of those at first, but now I avoid them. Clipped one way, it ends up with a lot of extra material sticking out. This is really uncomfortable when the clip is pointing toward skin, like when clipped onto a waistband. Clipped the other way, it’s significantly weaker, holds things at an odd angle, lacks friction, and the light itself acts as a lever to pull on the clip’s weakest point.

Olight in particular tends to use this style of clip on lights where it makes no sense. Clipped one way, it works, aside from the extra fold sticking out… but clipped the other way, half the light is sticking out above the clip. It’s the opposite of deep carry. I don’t think anyone at Olight thought this one through:

You don’t understand, these lights have multifeature support. Second bend is usable as a money clip as well as a beer bottle opener, because every cool gadget has to double as a bottle opener because reasons.

Doesn’t meteorite tend to be brittle? I’d hate to be the first guy to shoot one of those guns to find out if it holds together.

Looks like most of the ware and pressure holding parts arnt from space metal…

The only parts of the Big Bang pistol set that aren’t made of meteorite are the springs, sears, barrels, hammer strut, pins, screws, and slide rails. Everything else—slides, frames, triggers, magazine release, and grips—is pure Gibeon. Speaking of frightening, the guns’ first test firing was a bit daunting.
“I shot one freehand,” says Cabot’s head engineer Mike Hebor, who is right-handed. “I held the gun with my left hand, with my right hand behind my back—you know, just in case.”

RIP SPC Joey Riley, KIA 11/24/14. Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.

How about a light made from a meteorite. Cabot Guns made a few pistols with it.

I won’t buy a flashlight thrown from the 50th floor with tons of nicks and cracks.
I would much prefer an FW3A machined out of ice, to not be burn if it accidentally turn on in the pocket + active cooling for max lumens

“The pistols are fully-functional – and resultant of their National Match barrels, accurate; verified both on the rest and in off-hand shooting. Leaving nothing to chance in terms of functionality, our engineers used electron beam technology to meticulously add bimetal support only to the frame/slide rails, hammer, guide rod and extractor of the Big Bang set. – and the pistol’s components, down to the barrel bushing and trigger – are 100% Gibeon meteorite.”
